i have a trojan problem...PLEASE HELP

FreewheelinFrank · 2006-10-04T18:46:23.000Z

do you even read things before you post? i already said one was in the win32 folder and the other in the temp internet folder

As I said, we need the name of the malware, and the path and filename, as per the example.

But I think it’ll be somebody else helping you out from now on, numbnuts.

Guy (or girls, as the case may be). There’s a problem to be solved.

zimba post:1:

(… it was in the internet temp file and another in the win32) so i booted in safe mode and deleted it…i repeated this process atleast 5 times!! i just formatted my computer a couple hours ago and wow once again i get a trojan warning!

What did you do after reformatting? Check email? Surf? Download files? Install something from disk? I mean, certainly a reformat required re-installtion of programs and/or data.

Hello,

this???, to laeve it in the chest forever?

Hi Satine777,

Please could you start your own thread so people can see your post and offer help?

It will help us a lot if you can give us some more information: the name and location of the malware. This is the sort of thing we need:

Avast just picked up win32: Horst-BJ in our morning boot-time scan, thank God. It was in C: Docs and Sets\All Users\Application Data\CanonBJ\IJPrinter\CNMWindows\Canonip6600D\Installer\Inst2\helpkicker.exe

system · 2006-10-08T19:03:46.000Z

Thank you for the reply!

Here are the files, they, Avast!, recommend me to store in the chest:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll Bestandscategorie: 0
BestandsID: 0000000002 Originele bestandsnaam: C:\WINDOWS\system32\winsock.dll Bestandscategorie: 0

And this I found, in according with viruses, when I searched in ‘documents and settings’ on my pc:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll Bestandscategorie: 0

I hope this is some or enough information.

I read in this posting that it is a good idea to dowload Zone Alarm. I am planning to do that.

I myself downloaded, from a link on a page from Avast!: Spybot search and destroy.
I think that’s a good program as well:-)
I would like to hear your opinion:-), about this:-)

Thank you!

These files seem to be on the System folder of the Chest, i.e., they’re there for backup purposes.
Maybe Bestandscategorie: 0 means exactly this.

Very good program. No conflicts with avast.

FreewheelinFrank · 2006-10-08T21:36:22.000Z

I think the three files Tech mentioned may well be the protected copies of system files which avast! stores in the chest.

p2psetup[1].exe is a P2P adware file. Some P2P networks come bundled with adware/spyware and are best avoided.

See here:

http://www.spybot.info/en/articles/infected_and_clean.html

The files detected seem to be in temp files and System Restore files.

To delete temp files, try using CleanUp:

http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/

I also suggest you run Spybot and also Ad-Aware and a-Squared free to check for traces of adware:

http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

To remove files in System Restore, you will need to temporarily disable System Restore and then turn it back on again, as described here:

Hi Guys,

So, it is early, so I have the time to read your postings, and the links.

I have an announcement to make. I’m also curious, what you think about my decision.

I think I am gonna buy another virus scanner as Avast!. Not that I think that Avast! is not good!!!No, I knów Avast! is very good, most of the friends of my brother, are saying that and thinking so!!!

But…and know comes the ‘problem’: My Englisch Language is not so good, yes, I can have little conversations, and yes I can follow a movie from BBC, whén there is also Englisch subtitle. I can write postings, my pronunciation is véry good.

But,…this here is also technical terms, which is difficult for me in Dutch, so much more difficult in Englisch.

My brother gave me the computer, and he instal Avast, thinking, there is also Dutch
explanation. Which was not the case(yet).

So, I asked some advice of some of my colleagues: I said to them that I have Avast! with Englisch explanation of things, wich is very hard for me to understand.
(My brother lives in Amsterdam, I live in a little town, on the other side of the country.)
I got some advices from different people: It is better, that I am gonna buy a
Virus scanner with comlete Dutch explenation and interpretation. And than I have to do Avast! and all of it’s componenets away from my pc(un-install), and then, after that, I have to install Norton 7, the newest virus scanner with completely Dutch version and explenation.
So that it will not be so hard for me. Now I have to take the dictionary often, and it takes a long time for me to understand things.

So people advised me to buy Norton 7, and one of my co-workers, is gonne help me uninstal Avast!, and install Norton, whitin a few days.

Now I have a question.
When I uninstall Avast!, people told me, that then, Avast! will take the viruses in the chest with it.
Is that true? I heard it from more persons.

Because, recently, I also uninstall Avast!, and I install Norton 5. Than my pc gave me a warning, that Norton 5 is too old. So I quickly uninstall Norton, an re-install Avast. And then again, a warning; the same viruses wich I had before the Un-install came, and where recommended again
to me to do in the chest.!!!

So, what is true, from what my friends here told me; that when you uninstall Avast! it takes the viruses in the chest with it???
Because here above, it was obviously not the case.

Does anyone want to answer me? Thank you!

And once again, I am gonna change from virus scanner, not because Avast! is not good, no, Avast! is very good! I am gonna Uninstal it, and take another virus-scanner because of the Dutch support!

I hope for your understanding!

And I hope for an answer!

With kind regards!

Satine.

Hallo Satine777,

Uit je posting heb ik het vermoeden dat je Nederlandstalig bent. Waarom installeer je dan niet de Nederlandse versie van Avast? Die is even goed als de Engelse en er is ook een Nederlandstalig forum. Dan hoef je niet uit te wijken naar de Engelstalige versie, als je die taal niet voldoende machig bent.

polonus

FreewheelinFrank · 2006-10-11T06:40:00.000Z

I’m sure Polonus just said the same thing, but isn’t avast! available in Dutch?

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-translators.html

DavidR · 2006-10-11T10:15:16.000Z

Yes a Dutch version is available for download, http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html.

system · 2006-10-12T09:47:10.000Z

DavidR,

Of course, I read that piece, what you copied for me:-) And dowloaded and installed it, before I read and saw it.

And yes, some things, like lists, are in Dutch, but the long pieces of tekst, which give explanations, are in English. And then there is written that they(Avast!), are working on a Dutch version.
Maybe I make a mistake(It shall not be the first time;-), so I gonna check the links.

Laterz.

system · 2006-10-12T10:17:56.000Z

I tried, to install avast!(to copy that the fully translation is not yet avalable, the are working on it), that’s not possible, when you have it already, then Avast!, bring it up to date, something like this was written.

And of course, my brother saw, that explanation is in dutch avalable as well.

But, and now it comes, when you should install and donwload avast!, there ís an option to choose Dutch as a language. But the things in Dutch are ‘only’ the lists, like things in the chest, for example. Little things, like small/little sentences and words.
But you will see, when it comes to large texts and scripts, then you get(somewhere) the announcment, that they are working still at the fully translation.
I myself tried it over and over again a few times. Alle the large texts are in English, Although you vinked a few times, that you want the Dutch version!

And that is what I want to say on this forum, I dont go, because Avast! isn’t good enough, no Avast! is very good!!!
I go, because there is not a fully translation in Dutch(althoug they are working on it).

Satine!

system · 2006-10-12T10:29:14.000Z

But what about my questions in my postings before this;-)?

nb: Try it yourself, for the ones who don’t believe me, when you click on Dutch, you get some small translations, but not the very long help pages, for example.
But, try it on a pc, where is no Avast!, otherwise you update Avast! with the download, and install.

Satine.

nb: Anyway, thank you for the copies and the reply’s!

system · 2006-10-12T10:33:10.000Z

When I found somewhere the text again, that the Dutch translation is not fully available yet, I will copy it and put it on this forum;-)

Ja, ik ben Nederlands.
De Nederlandse versie had ik ook geïnstalleerd. Voordat mijn broer het deed, die had ik erafgehaald, ik dacht dat ie het verkeerd had gedaan, vanwege dat Engels.
Je krijgt, echt de mededeling, dat de vertaling nog niet klaar is, en dat ze ermee aan het werk zijn.

Dus ik moet wel uitwijken naar een Nederlandstalige versie.

En daar had ik vragen over.

Die stel ik later nog wel even, ik heb nu haast: werken.

Or ist it, when one leave Avast!, he or she doesn’t get an answer anymore;-)?
